Drill Plan For The Copper Hill Project

VANCOUVER – Manning Ventures Inc. has applied to permit a diamond drill program at the Copper Hill Project, Nevada. A Notice Level drill plan was submitted to the Carson City District Office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  The Notice Level process allows for up to 5 acres (2.02 Ha) of disturbance. The Nevada BLM offices, which oversee the environmental regulations governing this work, will respond within fifteen business days of the Notice Level submission. Typically, the Notice is accepted and authorization for the bond guaranteeing the reclamation work is completed in less than one month following the submission.

All new access roads and drill sites will create approximately 4 acres (1.6 Ha) of total disturbance. The Project is comprised of 108 unpatented lode mining claims that cover 2,215 acres (896.3 Ha).

Nine planned drill holes (”PDH”) are being permitted to drill vertical and inclined holes testing the skarn on the contact between the limestone and the intrusive for the Northern and the Southern Zones. The two zones outline target areas which host significant copper values (0.5 to > 1.0% copper) in intense skarn alteration.
